67 — Data analytics for L&D

Every digital interaction creates a breadcrumb trail of data, but how far has learning and development mined this data for value?

On this week's GoodPractice Podcast, learning analytics specialist Trish Uhl joins Ross G and Owen to share how modern organisations can use data to drive performance. We ask how complicated this needs to be, and reflect on whether many L&D practitioners are already using data without realising it.
